Axle is one of our new sponsors and today we are looking at our first sample from them; they sent us a Geforce G210 512DDR2 videocard that is mainly meant for HTPC setups. It comes with a HDMI port, Nvidia Purevideo HD tech, and a bunch of nice features that come in handy when watching HD material.
